FIT Momma's Exercise of the Week: JUMP SQUATS



Benefits:
  • Jump Squats work the big muscles of the legs and the butt. 
  • Doing this exercise regularly will help to tighten and tone the thighs and butt areas. 
  • Using the big muscles of the legs burns calories. 
  • If the exercise is done continuously,  Jump Squats can be an effective cardio workout.


Do 3 Sets of 12 at least 3 times per week



 

How To:

  • Place your hands behind your head with the elbows out.
  • Make sure your feet are hip-width apart.
  • Push your hips back and bend your knees until your thighs are almost parallel with the floor
  • Make sure to keep your chin and chest up (this helps to keep your back from rounding out)
  • Jump as high as you can landing in your squat, starting the next rep
